Legendary Gretsch Artist Vinnie Colaiuta was determined to find primary and secondary snare drums with the versatility to meet his needs both on stage and in-studio. Working closely with the craftsmen at the Gretsch USA Factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, they produced two incredible signature snares with all of the sonic characteristics that Vinnie had been looking for. Vinnie’s primary snare, the 14 in. x 5 in., has extensive dynamic range with incredible body and remarkable sensitivity. The 12 in. x 4 in. auxiliary snare is ultra-loud when laid into with a rimshot. Ultra sharp, piercing, very dry sound and a short sustain—a great side snare drum with a ton of crack when hit on a rim shot. The drums are finished in a distinctive Cobalt Blue to compliment the Gretsch USA Custom kit used on the Sting/Peter Gabriel “Rock, Paper, Scissors” World Tour.
